Brian: I totally agree... when I ferried N9401E from TX to OR we had an aviation GPS which was handy. But within a couple hundred miles of home, on good flying days, the Etrex is a nice solution for my simple flying. I'm sure I'll get something more sophisticated when I get my KR2 in the air... though by then the technology will have advanced again... Tony
